School Website Development

Websites that help schools connect with their communities and reach more families.

Is your school website helping or hindering your efforts to reach more families?

School websites are often a prospective family’s first stop. Before they pick up their phone or stop by for a visit, prospective families usually check out a school’s online presence. The biggest piece of a school’s online presence is its school website.

Websites that look outdated, don’t have photos, are poorly organized, and aren’t visitor-friendly hinder a school’s efforts to reach prospective families. Poor websites can even cause prospective families to eliminate a school as an potential option for their students.

A great school website functions as an outreach tool to engage, inform, and connect with prospective families.
